Cross-link in fibrin polymerized by factor 13: epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine

Cross-link in fibrin polymerized by factor 13: epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine

J J Pisano et al. Science. .

Abstract

(epsilon)-((gamma)-Glutamyl)lysine has been isolated from enzymatic hydrolyzates of cross-linked human fibrin. This compound was not detected in "non-cross-linked" fibrin prepared with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which inhibits factor XIII; intermediate amounts were observed when the fibrin was prepared with glycine ethyl ester, which inhibits factor XIII competitively. These and ancillary experiments furnish conclusive evidence that epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine cross-links form in human fibrin during polymerization catalyzed by factor XIII.
